The star itself took Ms James six days to create, requiring meticulous design to ensure it was precise and had perfect proportions. The finished article was made from 2,790 bricks, measures 60cm (2ft) and weighs 3kg (6lb 9oz).

Despite looking rather delicate, the tree has been built to withstand the elements.

A spokeswoman for Legoland Windsor said: ‘It will be absolutely fine. The whole of Legoland is outside so everything is made to be outside. The Lego model makers are amazing at making sure everything is weather-proof.

‘They have special glue and other things to make it weather-proof. The tree will have an internal structure, an architecture of metal, so it is not just classic Lego but is built around a frame.

‘It is not going to go over in the wind, 100%.’

Despite its proportions, Legoland’s tree is not the largest ever Lego Christmas tree. That honour goes to one at London’s St Pancras Station in 2011, which measured 40ft.
